I hate what the last WordPress update did to its blog editor

This is aimed at those of you who do some blogging of your own.

Why, or why, did WordPress suddenly revamp the whole look and feel of its editing mode in the last software update?

I have enough trouble finding time to keep this blog active, and I just don’t have the available time or interest in figuring out just how to find and use all the basics, much less any bells and whistles, in the latest WordPress incarnation.

Am I alone in this?

My on-the-fly solution has been to return to using MarsEdit, a nice little bit of software that I had set aside a couple of years ago. Their latest version has been updated but feels very familiar and comfortable. I wish I could say the same for WP.

If you’re interested: MarsEdit by Red Sweater Software.

    I hate this last update. I have two blogs and post on one of them weekly or more. It takes time in a half more to do the simplest things. Things have disappeared. Word Count, Catagories. Adding photos takes longer. The whole thing is unsatisfactory! Is it possible to change back to the previous setup?
